I FINALLY DID IT!!!
That podcast and post about Gnosticism really sealed the deal for me! I have felt a huge surge of certainty since then. Glory to God! The masonry is in the TRASH! Continue reading

Is the LDS Church the New Testament Church?
With some among us claiming to be “the restored church” from ancient times, it would behoove us to do a little study on what the New Testament church looked like. My friend today told me she believes in the “restored ordinances of the LDS church.” I looked all through the New Testament trying to figure Continue reading

I Still Keep All My Covenants
There’s this ridiculous push in the LDS church. It seems every time there’s a flexible lesson day, it goes back to temples, garments, covenants. But even when lessons aren’t flexible, half the time it’s about these things anyway! (Because most conference talks are about temples and covenants, gathering Israel, and all this other special LDS Continue reading

Alienated From Christ
The book of Galatians is a letter addressing some Christians who had been persuaded into a different type of gospel where they still needed to keep the law—they were still performing performances and ordinances (works) even though Christ paid the penalty in full (grace) and these things were not required anymore. “Evidently some people are Continue reading

Sincere Seeker of Jesus Christ
I wrote in My Story how I attended the temple every day last fall, seeking Jesus. Just like President Nelson said recently — “Here is my promise to you: Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him in the temple. You will find answers to your most vexing questions.” — I indeed did find Continue reading

As I began to question the church, find answers, and distance myself, I wore my garments for as long as possible. I even stopped attending Mormon church and went to my new Christian church wearing garments under my jeans. I was trying to be cohesive with my friends. I was trying to please my husband Continue reading

Mockery Before God: Those Who Died Without a Knowledge of Christ
I will never cease to be amazed at all the scriptures in the Book of Mormon that preach against Mormons. It’s like God planned it all out in advance, and made sure these truths were in the book they would be holding. I can’t believe I’ve read this book several times, and taught from it, Continue reading

Eternal Marriage
Haleigh says it so well. Just listen to her. In the spring when I was consuming a lot of Hello Saints videos, I would usually comment and put up my thoughts defending or explaining the Mormon church. My defense mechanism was on overdrive trying to protect me, trying to stay connected to my husband and Continue reading

Unless There be a Falling Away First
This week I felt directed to examine the claims of apostasy and really nail down my beliefs. Let me remind you, one huge part of my “faith crisis” was realizing that other Christians were good, legit, and saved. So naturally, my entire testimony of the restoration was gone in one fell swoop and I needed Continue reading

My Story – Part 3
2020 was actually a good year for my family, but it was a confusing time for the faith of many Mormons who were awake. We were forced to reconcile some unexpected and shocking contradictions between the scriptures and doctrines we deeply held, with the behaviors and policies of our leaders. But I did so, and Continue reading
